The guns have been a good investment for those lucky enough to find one. I haven't been looking too long but these don't seem very easy to find. And the ones I've found, they're asking 12k.

This is just my opinion based on being a repro fan boy since the early 90's.
I feel the SxS gun market in general, including repro's is a bit artificially inflated at present. Covid had a lot to do with this when the lock downs sent the country into a gun buying frenzy, followed by the general inflation we've dealt with ever since. Because the market for repro's is at a high point. I wouldn't look at them as a potential investment and feel they should be looked at as something you want & will enjoy owning.
I also feel the prices you've quoted are on the high side of the high side and a decent one can be found for less than those prices--They're out there, but you have to hunt them down, which can take time to find just the right gun & deal. If price is a concern, the best value might be finding the most common of the repro's of being a 20ga single trigger with 26" barrels, they are the most common found and the easiest to find fairly priced.
Another thing you might consider is joining the PGCA and then watch the members only for sale section here. Repro's show-up there on a fairly regular basis, it's a good $40.00 investment.
